I hope everyone is enjoying the new message board. I have only had a few reports of anyone having problems getting their user accounts setup and posting messages. Here are the most common problems new users have been experiencing:
Cookies
As stated upon first signing up for a user account, this board uses cookies. Therefore you must set your browser to accept cookies from this site. To set the privacy in Internet Explorer – First Click on the Tools menu on top of your browser. Then Click on Internet Options… Once the Options Window pops up, Click the Privacy Tab. Then set the Privacy to Low or Accept All Cookies. You may also use the Advanced button to set different options for cookie handling if you feel comfortable setting these options. The cookies on this site allow you to see which boards have been posted to since your last visit. This way you are never out of the loop.
Multiple Users on Single Email Address
Originally I had set an option to only allow one user per email address. I have since learned that many of you share an email account with your husband/wife/significant other, but would still like your own chat identity. Therefore I have changed the setting so that you can have as many user accounts per email address as you wish.
Firewalls
When first setting up a new user account you must Click Agree to the terms stated. If you have a software firewall like Norton Internet Security or ZoneAlarm, you must turn that firewall off temporarily when agreeing to these terms. Upon setting the chat account up you my turn your firewall back on. If you are behind a hardware firewall, as most business networks have, you can either contact your network administrator or agree to the terms and setup your account from your home computer. Once your account has been setup you shouldn’t have any firewall related problems thereafter.
If you have any other problems with the board, please check the FAQ page at the top of the board and if those help related topics don’t help you may email the board administrator or someone from Mountain Retreat directly at mickeynewburyweb@hotmail.com.
Thank you |
